Looking to generate better leads, book more meetings, or just get the inside scoop on a target company?<\/p>\n

Finding former employees on LinkedIn is a goldmine for B2B professionals, whether you’re in sales, recruitment, or market research.<\/p>\n

This guide covers how to find former employees of a company on LinkedIn in just a few steps, allowing you to move faster and more strategically.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll also show you how to do it at scale using tools like PhantomBuster to boost your lead-generation<\/a> efforts.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Use the ‘Past company’ search filter to find past employees of a company<\/h2>\n

LinkedIn\u2019s search functionality is more powerful than it looks, especially when tapping the ‘Past company’ filter.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to use it to pinpoint ex-employees of any company in seconds:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to the LinkedIn search bar<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. Type the name of the specific company <\/strong>you\u2019re targeting.<\/li>\n
  3. Click the ‘People<\/strong>‘ search tab in the results.<\/li>\n
  4. Click the ‘All Filters<\/strong>‘ button to access the advanced search options.<\/li>\n
  5. Scroll to the ‘Past company<\/strong>‘ field and toggle or add the company name.<\/li>\n
  6. Optional<\/strong>: Use industry and skill filters like location, job title, industry, or keywords in the ‘Current company<\/strong>‘ field to narrow down your results even further in just a few clicks. You can even find people who attended the same school to establish common ground.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Automatically export former employees of a company using PhantomBuster<\/h2>\n

    If you’re looking to export current or former employees of a company, doing that one by one doesn\u2019t scale.<\/p>\n

    That\u2019s where automation tools<\/a> like PhantomBuster come in handy.<\/p>\n

    Pull data using Chrome Extensions<\/h3>\n

    PhantomBuster\u2019s Chrome extension<\/a> lets you build hyper-targeted lists<\/a> directly from LinkedIn searches.<\/p>\n

    Once installed, just click the extension when you\u2019re on a search results page. You can pick specific profiles and send them straight into your workflow for enrichment, outreach<\/a>, or analysis.<\/p>\n

    This requires some manual process, but it\u2019s perfect when you want more control and quality over quantity.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    PhantomBuster\u2019s Chrome extension is best suited for precise, targeted results. It\u2019s also a good option for quick research or testing a segment before launching a larger campaign.<\/p>\n

    This method gives you full control if you’re working with a narrow list\u2014say, past employees with specific job titles or from certain regions.<\/p>\n

    You can handpick profiles, add them to a custom list, and immediately send them into your enrichment<\/a> or outreach<\/a> workflow.<\/p>\n

    Bulk export all employees of a company page from the search results<\/h3>\n

    If you\u2019ve already filtered the results with the ‘Past company’ filter, you can automate the export using PhantomBuster\u2019s LinkedIn Search Export<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n
